Apple's Lightning Connector Heralds the End of Docks - Businessweek

Final paragraph of a wireless device/dock reality check

"So if you don’t have to plug in to sync, backup, play music, or watch video, what do you really need to plug in for? Apple gave its new connector a jazzy name by calling it Lightning, but its purpose is far more ordinary than that. With almost all connections becoming wireless ones, Lightning is little more than a very well-designed power cord."
